Good and service were both great.

Great food. Everything was well prepared and seasoned perfectly. Some of us are vegetarian, some keto, some gluten-free. It was really easy to mix and match multiple entrees we all could enjoy. The shrimp rolls were amazing; so fresh and delicious!!

I ordered the Red Curry and honestly it was the most disappointed Thai food I ever had to an asian like me.

Excellent food. The tofu and shrimp were incredible. The service was impeccable. I can't say enough from the scrumptious spring rolls to the beautiful house made thai ice cream. The crispy noodles... 5 Bistro must mean 5 STAR! THANK YOU!!!

Absolutely incredible food! Came for my mom's birthday on a whim and we were HIGHLY impressed. It's always a good sign that a Thai business is run by Thailand natives. We had Mamas Dumplings, Scallion Pancakes and each ordered an entree (drunken noodles with chicken and pineapple chicken). Great portions with leftovers and DELICIOUS flavor! Food came out very hot and tastes so fresh, they're definitely using great ingredients. The staff here were very friendly and happily offered recommendations even when it was busy.

It is a rare restaurant that features duck and then delivers on the promise.. Two of us had duck and it was delicious.. I had their feeling pad Thai. Just the right amount of heat. Service was excellent and lovely decor.

wow what can i say about 5 thai bistro … just delicious and spongey and moreish
we were vulnerable, fragile and desperate looking for a place to feed. 5 thai provided us a safe space, a home in our moment of strife. though we had a journey to overcome our own differences within, we were united by the crispiest spring rolls and the most moreish fmeat. shout out to the veggie lovers and the lovers period cause this place is for you ✌️??

Our food was excellent. As a vegetarian, I was really happy to see they had a veggie lovers section that stated the sauce was vegetarian rather than fish or chicken sauce. The veggies were crisp and fresh. We had a great experience here. Definitely recommend.

Went here for my adult daughter’s birthday. She was dying to try it but overall it was a disappointment. The food was quite good, except for one order where the rice was very overdone. But the real negative was with the service. Our waitress disappeared halfway through our meal. It took four requests to get our check. The first two requests were to the food runner (since the waitress was nowhere) but clearly she didn’t understand any English and rolled her eyes. Finally a man who seemed to be a manager brought our check. There was no communication asking how everything was or if we were interested in dessert. The atmosphere of the dining room was also rather dark and uninspiring.

So disappointed. Undercooked and cold chicken satay. Customer for over ten years who always enjoyed an excellent meal. But I arrived tonight at 8:35 and was turned away for dinner. Closing time at 9:00. So ordered 2 orders of chicken satay and fresh rolls. Received order after about twenty minutes and went to my car to eat it and the chicken satay was inedible… cold and marginally undercooked. Had no taste. I went back to restaurant and reported this to the hostess. She did the right thing by offering me new order but I had to drive an hour to get home so I asked for my money back for the chicken. Obviously the order was cooked hurriedly and then sat there for too long and got cold. I don’t know if I will return.
